A sheer, lightweight fabric with a smooth finish, often used for elegant garments.
From French 'éolienne', derived from Greek 'Aiolos' (Aeolus) combined with French '-enne' suffix, literally meaning 'of or like the wind.' The name suggests the fabric's airy, light quality.
Fashion designers named this fabric 'Eolienne' because it's so delicate and fine it catches light like wind itself—it literally seems to shimmer and move with the slightest breeze!
